Review of The Lego Batman Movie (2017) by Matt M — 26 Mar 2017

It is amazing what can happen when you both respect the source material and not feel the need to make everything depressing. This is the kind of superhero movie that DC needed after the unnecessary gloom of Man of Steel and Batman v Superman.

For long time fans of the Batman universe there are little things in almost every scene going all the way back to the first live action Batman (before the 60's series even). Clearly done with a love of the franchise it ranks as one of the best Batman movies.

Of note is that Billy Dee Williams, so many years later, finally gets to play (or at least voice) Two-Face after staring as Harvey Dent back in the 1989 Tim Burton film.
